BIR Annual Congress 2021
Working across boundaries for excellence

With a record number of delegates in 2018 and 2019 as well as during the pandemic in 2020, The BIR Annual Congress continues to get even BIGGER and BETTER in 2021!

Due to the uncertainty and keeping in mind the safety of all, we have made the decision to deliver this year's Congress virtually. We are hopeful and looking forward to seeing you all in person in 2022.

A mix of six different streams and seven topics offering a comprehensive programme on the latest innovations in imaging and treatment to medical imaging professionals and their senior management teams.

Taking place over two days, the event provides excellent opportunities to learn, interact and engage with attendees, speakers and industry representatives. There will also be plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
